Detailed Extreme Rising Results – June 30, 2012

The show opened with a local hardcore band Eat the Turnbuckles playing. They did all sorts of wrestling based antics with barbed wire, chairs, guitars and one guy even came off the top of a van onto a table. The crowd wasn’t happy about them.

Stephen DeAngelis came to the ring. He introduced Robby Mireno. He got booed in his own hometown. He tried to tell them that he stood up for Philly last night in NYC but the crowd still razzed him, so he heeled them. Ah, Philadelphia.

Joel Gertner made his way to the ring. The place chanted for him.

Papadon vs. Perry Saturn

The fans were all over him so Papadon demanded that DeAngelis make it clear that he’s not gay. Papadon then demanded he be announced as the greatest unsigned talent in the wrestling world today.

Saturn got a huge pop and immediately went into the bleacher and walked across the entire length. There was a huge “Perry” chant. Saturn literally went around to every corner of the building before getting into the ring. Saturn received a big “Welcome Back” chant. Saturn took the mic and said, “E C F***ing W.” That of course led to a huge ECW chant.

They locked up and Papadon backed off and went to the floor. The ever polite Philly crowd chanted, “You suck d***.” Saturn went to the floor but Don slipped back in before he could get him. Saturn asked for a mic. He said that he hasn’t been here in a long time but it appears everyone knows Papadon is a huge c**sucker. The mic died so it didn’t get much of a response.

They finally locked up and they went back and forth until Saturn drills him with a clothesline and then another Cactus Clothesline over the top to the floor. He beats the hell out of Papadon on the floor and tosses him back into the ring.

Jersey Shore from Raven’s flock last time here hits the ring and attacks Saturn. They double on him until Gary Wolfe’s music hits and Wolfe made the save. Wolfe battled Shore to the floor. The crowd chanted for “Pitbull.”

Saturn whipped Papadon into the ropes and as he bounced back towards Saturn, Saturn hit the legsweep from Total Elimination for the pin.

Your winner, Perry Saturn!

The match was more of a spectacle for Saturn’s homecoming than a competitive bout. There was a lot of glad-handing to the crowd, but they loved seeing Saturn. They didn’t do much in the ring, but what they did got a reaction and worked. Saturn obviously can’t go like he used to but they structured it right as a way to spotlight him. Papadon looked great tonight and as I’ve written in the past, he’s got it and deserves a shot in a major way I was really happy to see him get booked here. The run-in was a nice way to get Wolfe on the show and he got a nice pop coming out.
